PAID COLLEGE SPORTSMEN
jPOLLOWERS of conference football are watching
with deep regret the result of the football game
botween two small Illinois towns A great deal of
!tting had taken place in past years between the
rwo town. The game had always been square with
home talent representing each town.
At last the sport fell into the hands of gamblers
F.very man in the two towns virtually became a
jambler. The first town bought University of Illi-
nois players. 'lamblers in the other tow;; hired
liusky Irishmen from Notre Dame. The Notre
Damp player? won.
Tn all probability the gamblers of each to:
nromised the players enough for a single i;amc to
pay expenses for an entire year in college. Anyone
who lias ever experienced the hard-bit life of a col-
'ege boy struggling to make ends mee; ktto.- whs)
a temptation this became.
The boys of both schools have been outlawed
Their standing with the student bodies of the two
-chools is gone. They were not entirely hi blame.
There hould be some law that would make i: pos-
iible to imprison men who corrupt collegiate sports.
Resolved down to the final analysis sport in the
iwo universities was dealt a severe blow by gambler.
Any form of gambling ruins pon.
